| Simply put, vast success requires you be unique. If we could all do it, we'd all be rich, and then rich would be the new middle class and the dollar would be worth a nickel.

i took many many years of multiple forms. i found it relaxing, structured, routine driven, and kept me in share without having to deal with the "team" stuff.
odd thing is, all my years of the arts were before i knew i had aspergers. it just felt right, that's all. |

I am certainly not an expert on behavior, but if you are self aware, you will modify your interaction with the rest of the world to get by. Ironically, I have noticed that some of my... |

I somehow managed to make it eighteen years, undiagnosed, coping my own ways to things which I thought made me a freak, without bashing my head through the wall. *rimshot* Needless to say, I'm happy for the diag... |
